I forgot to say thanks last time. THANKS for the suggestion. I may
someday go that way.
For now, I found a nasty little kludge that will let me get the job done
and move on to other things. A task running from cron can use minicom
IF it is redirected to a real terminal. So...
blackbox.exp </dev/tty12 &>/dev/tty12
for developing, and
blackbox.exp </dev/tty13 &>/dev/tty13
to secure it from curious fingers.
